BACK TO SCHOOL LUNCH IDEAS

Can you believe a new school year is already almost here?! I know most people dread the end of summer, but I absolutely love this time of year. I love the excitement that comes with kids going back to school. The changing seasons, new school clothes, school supplies, class lists and friends to make.

As a parent I’ve just begun to experience a tiny bit of the craziness that also comes with this time of year–Preparing for your kids to head out on their first day can be a lot of work!

One thing that always makes life easier for me is staying organized with my kids school lunches. I’ve included tons of recipes, tips and tricks below to make preparing school lunches a breeze, and also fun and exciting for your kids. Don’t miss the FREE PRINTABLE at the bottom of the post that includes a list of school lunch ideas. Print it off and keep it on your fridge so you never run out of ideas!

PLAN AHEAD

Makes lunches at night, not in the morning:

Keep sandwiches fresh by placing the cheese slices directly on the bread, and then the mayo and mustard on top of the cheese. This will keep the bread from getting soggy–especially if you’re making the sandwiches the night before!
